Something to Whisper

Can I whisper this on this site? I hate saying things like this, because I'm afraid I'll put a jinx on the Mocs. But, I'm doing what I'm doing to put things out there so that people know.

So here goes:

The Mocs need only to win their next three games to clinch the North Division. If they beat Georgia Southern, Davidson, and Western Carolina (a tough task, no question), then the Mocs will have the tiebreaker over Western Carolina, and won't be able to lose more than six conference games- which is the same number the Catamounts would have if they won their games prior to the game against the Mocs and then lost at home to the Mocs. No other team would have less than seven conference losses.

This is no time to let up. A 1-2 or 0-3 record over the next three games (which is possible) could really open up the division and throw everything up in the air. But I just wanted to mention the things that you need to know.

If the Mocs win their two games this week (Georgia Southern and at Davidson), and Western Carolina loses at Elon and to UNCG, and Appalachian State beats UNCG, but loses to Elon, the Mocs will have clinched the division by the end of the week.

Of course, all that depends on the Mocs winning. This is no time to get complacent. The Mocs need to keep on winning. The next two weeks are really key for the Mocs and where this team is going.

GO MOCS!
